More power, updated tech and design for Audi's flagship sports car

PGA Cars, the official distributor of Audi in the Philippines (along with Porsche, Lamborghini and, more recently, Bentley) has just previewed the updated and upgraded version of the Audi R8 for the market.

The new R8 V8 Coupe, unveiled at the PGA Cars showroom in Bonifacio Global City, sports an updated design, featuring a new, more aggressive front bumper with larger side intakes, updated LED headlamps and taillamps, as well as other new design touches. The 19 inch alloy wheels come in a variety of new designs.

The new Audi R8 will be available in the Philippines through PGA Cars in Q3 2013.
